[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 The low-emissivity film shown includes a base film made of ETFE, a protective layer on the outer side of the base film (i.e., the incident side of light), and a dielectric layer and a radiation layer on the inner side of the base film. Both the dielectric layer and the radiation layer are single layers, arranged sequentially away from the base film. Specifically, the radiation layer and the base film are connected by the dielectric layer to enhance the adhesion between them. The radiation layer is formed using a vacuum magnetron sputtering roll-to-roll deposition process. The thickness of the base film is greater than or equal to 15 μm and less than or equal to 1000 μm, and the visible light transmittance of the base film is greater than 90%. The thickness of the radiation layer is 5–15 nm, and the thickness of the dielectric layer is 0.1–2.5 nm. The radiation layer is a silver layer, an aluminum layer, a titanium layer, or an alloy layer. The protective layer includes at least one of a metal layer, a metal nitride layer, and a semiconductor doped compound layer. The thickness of the protective layer is less than 20 nm.

[0031] This low-emissivity film exhibits a reflectance of over 90% in the ultraviolet band and over 80% in the near-infrared band, achieving high reflectivity in both ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths. Because ultraviolet light is significantly reflected, damage to the low-emissivity film from ultraviolet light is reduced, extending its service life.

[0032] Furthermore, the protective layer is no longer installed inside the radiating layer, allowing it to oxidize naturally through direct contact with air. This reduces the hemispherical emissivity of the inner surface of the low-E film to below 0.08, while the emissivity of similar heat insulation films is above 0.7. In comparison, the low-E film of this invention improves infrared radiation heat blocking performance by more than 3.5 times, significantly enhancing the thermal insulation performance of the film structure. Using a low-E film with an emissivity below 0.2 in door, window, and curtain wall glass systems improves thermal insulation performance by more than 23.3% compared to using a film with an emissivity greater than 0.7 (the heat transfer coefficient decreases by at least 23.3%).

[0033] like Figure 2 The hemispherical emissivity of the ordinary film shown is 0.7, and the near-infrared reflectance is less than 70%. Figure 3 The hemispherical emissivity of the first low-emissivity film in this embodiment is reduced to 0.17, and the near-infrared reflectance is greater than 80%.

[0034] As Figure 4 shown, the prepared low-emissivity film sample with a hemispherical emissivity of 0.17 is directly exposed to the indoor air environment, and after about two months of natural oxidation test, the emissivity is always in the fluctuation range of 0.19-0.21, and there is no obvious change. That is, the radiation layer in the low-emissivity film of the utility model can have stable performance even without a protective layer, and the inner side of the radiation layer is naturally oxidized, which meets the use requirements.

[0035] As Figure 5 shown, taking a double-glass hollow glass with 6+12A+6 as an example, its heat transfer coefficient is 2.66 W / (m2·K), and after embedding an ordinary film with an emissivity of 0.7, its heat transfer coefficient can be reduced to 2.16 W / (m2·K), and the heat preservation performance is improved by 18.8%; after embedding a low-emissivity film with an emissivity of 0.2, the heat transfer coefficient can be further reduced to 1.94 W / (m2·K), and the heat preservation performance is improved by 27.1%. In addition, compared with using a soft film with an emissivity greater than 0.7, the use of a low-E film with an emissivity less than 0.2 in the embedded roll film glass system improves the heat preservation performance by more than 10.2% (at least 10.2% reduction in heat transfer coefficient).

[0036] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the hollow glass system embedded with the low-emissivity film significantly reduces the weight of the traditional three-glass two-cavity hollow glass and four-glass three-cavity hollow glass system by 30%-50%, greatly reduces the load of the glass curtain wall building, and saves the construction cost.

[0037] The experimental data of the above Figures 2 to 7 are obtained by the following method:

[0038] Reflectance: The reflectance of the low-emissivity film surface in the wavelength range of 0.3-2.5 μm is measured by a spectrophotometer at an incident angle of 5°, and the weighted average reflectance of the wavelength range of 0.3 μm-0.38 μm, 0.38 μm-0.78 μm, 0.78 μm-2.5 μm, and 0.3 μm-2.5 μm is calculated according to GB T 2680-2021 "Determination of the solar energy total transmittance, ultraviolet transmittance, and related parameters of window glass Visible light transmittance, solar light direct of building glass", respectively, as the values of ultraviolet light reflectance, visible light reflectance, near-infrared light reflectance, and solar light reflectance. In addition, the incident angle refers to the angle relative to the line perpendicular to the film surface.

[0039] Hemispherical emissivity: The surface hemispherical emissivity of the heat preservation and sunshade radiation cooling film is measured by a radiometer, and the test method follows the standard of American ASTM C1371 "Standard Test Method for Radiant Emittance of Materials Near Room Temperature Using Portable Emissometers".

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The low-emissivity film in this embodiment is the same as in Embodiment 1, except for the following technical features: Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, both the dielectric layer and the radiating layer are two layers, and they are alternately arranged along the direction away from the base film. The first dielectric layer includes any one of a metal layer, a metal nitride layer, and a semiconductor doped compound layer, and the second dielectric layer includes any one of a metal fluoride layer, a metal nitride layer, and a semiconductor doped compound layer. The thickness of the first radiating layer is 5–15 nm, the thickness of the second radiating layer is 10–30 nm, the thickness of the first dielectric layer is 0.1–2.5 nm, and the thickness of the second dielectric layer is 4–20 nm.

[0042] like Figure 9 As shown, the hemispherical emissivity of the low-emissivity film in this embodiment is reduced to 0.08, and the near-infrared reflectance is greater than 90%. After incorporating a low-emissivity film with an emissivity of 0.08, the heat transfer coefficient can be further reduced to 1.87 W / (m2·K), and the thermal insulation performance is improved by 29.7%.

[0043] The above-described specific embodiments are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any other changes or equivalent substitutions made without departing from the technical solution of this utility model are included within the protection scope of this utility model.
